I've always been a distel with a micropulley to tend, and usually use a Blake's when I have to jump lines to maneuver around in the canapy. Go back to the distel once I get back into a working position or my main line is where I want it. Now, my younger brother who learned tree work through a linesman apprenticeship learned most of the same knots and hitches that I learned, but they use completely different names. The only one we can ever agree on is the bowline, makes for some interesting days when we work a job together....

Thanks for the review of the friction hitches. I got a kick out of you finally pronouncing michoacan properly. Being in southern California and closer to Mexico, where Michoacan is a state, I've heard it for many decades. Thanks for the video.

Totally enjoy the content...always clear and concise, it's very much appreciated. But I didn't turn into a fan until whatever video you mentioned you threw down on the mats. Then I knew, "this guy was my kind of person" and who I wanted to learn from to take my rock climbing knowledge over to the tress. Awesome!

When you showed the single roap technique after you tied the clove and in between your blakes there should be a stopper knot. Liking the videos. The friction hitches you showed do work well with a pulley

@giorgiobosoni6172 2 жыл бұрын

You've forgot to mention that some of those hitches, only work with different diameter ropes, being the friction cord thinner then the climbing rope.

Taught line hitch is what I learned on. A LONG time ago, lol. We used anchor knots at our bridge. I like the rolling clove hitch, tho to extend the bridge length. We always used figure 8 stopper knots. Climbing has changed so much

Samson arbor master 13 mil, 30 inch ocean cord (10 mil) tie a catalyst hitch and you got a knot that's comparable to the petzl zig zag no BS. There's a reason that length and width of cord is so expensive nowadays, people are figuring out the sweet spot. Black bee line for prime results

@Stridertrees 2 жыл бұрын

All my climb ropes are roughly 12mm and I prefer a shorter hitch cord. If I can I usually go with 28” hitch cord but if it’s longer it’s not a big deal as these hitches can be modified with an extra wrap to make it work if need be. It’s just not quite as easy to work with.

@Stridertrees 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a knot that works best with an eye to eye prussic cord but you can use any friction cord if you tie the proper hitch with the ends it’s just a slower process then if you’ve already got spliced eyes

Why do you not recommend the blakes hitch?.. you never said why

@ytube777 7 ай бұрын

my understanding is it's considered "open" in that the hitch could work loose and the tail could slip through. The "safe" friction hitches are "closed" in the sense that there is no tail to slip through the knot (you have ropes with eyes at the end that are carabiner'd togethered).
